Thank you, Rob Pike, for posting this.
I am in a different field, and of little importance in that field, so it is preposterous of me to comment here, forgive me. But I wish to express how much energy I gain from reading your post.
The wave of inauthenticity is all-encompassing. I spent some four decades as a university teacher, with immense pride, only to see the very notion of teaching and education destroyed before my eyes. My friends in other professions experience the same.
I still hope for reversal.
Your message is one of sadness and loss, but is also a sign of resistance. As one of the true pathbreakers and arbiters of good taste in your field and beyond, your voice gives strength to others who try to hold on to notions of authenticity, simplicity, elegance, humility.
We pray these professional values will survive the long winter we are currently experiencing.

Does the mammalian #circadian clock manage to temperature-compensate during deep #hypothermia? This study shows that mice maintain circadian rhythms during a #hibernation -like hypothermic state, and that this is supported by systemic regulatory mechanisms @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4tW1pJt

❄️ In winter forests, bears vanish into quiet dens while hearts slow and bodies wait. What unfolds inside that long stillness?
Curious how a bear’s muscle, bone, and life endure months of near silence?

Guys! The first hedgehog of this year has come out of hibernation! I hope he's not too early.

In analysing #rodent fossils, scientists funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation have come up with a novel hypothesis: #hibernation was a survival strategy 34 million years ago.

Lots of #animals hibernate. #Hedgehogs hunker down, #dormice curl up in a ball, and #bats take to their roosts. #Hibernation occurs when animals enter a state of almost total inactivity during the winter months.
Some animals rouse themselves from hibernation for a quick snack and a toilet break, before returning to their bed. This helps the animals to keep their strength up and get rid of any waste that would otherwise soil their ‘bed’.https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/do-hibernating-animals-go-to-the-loo

It’s Getting Chilly
As the weather begins to get cooler and the leaves on the trees begin to change, I start to settle in to early-hibernation mode. It isn’t noticeably different from my usual homebody persona, but it comes with sweaters.

🚀 Flash #news for developers: #CocoaPods will enter #hibernation in a mere two years! 😴 Don't panic, there's still plenty of time to finish that app you promised back in 2015. Meanwhile, let the riveting #debate over #security and "readonly" status continue to captivate absolutely no one. 🎉

This is interesting; I would love to know more about the mechanism. Does it have to do with hydrogen sulfide?

#Dormancy can be classified into 2 main types: daily torpor (lasting less than 24 hours) and #hibernation (lasting longer than that, up to multiple months).
To this day, we do not know if:
❓ these two types represent evolutionarily discrete states, or if they are parts of a continuum.
❓ dormancy capabilities can be accurately predicted from species' physiological traits or #ecological strategies.
❓ hibernation evolved once in #mammals (and #birds) or multiple times independently. 2/4

Good morning 🐢🐢🐢 8am＠JP
あさ8時 🐢🐢🐢 おはようございますIt's #hibernation season, but the warmth has woken up the Tortoises for #breakfast. 🥬
However, only one, Kumagoro, appears to be dozing off. After all, being left behind is cold!
Wishing you a Happiness day🤗

Oh wow ! cette famille a des box turtles et ces animaux hibernent, donc ils les aident à hiberner en les enterrant dans un coin du jardin pour 5 mois 😳
ça fait 25 ans qu'ils font ça et les animaux ne s'en portent que mieux, mais c'est à la fois très intéressant et un peu malaisant, ça réveille certains cauchemars quelque part.
fascinant monde des reptiles en tout cas !

Spent 2 days trying to figure out why #hibernation didn't work with my #swapfile.
Note to self: when the swap space is on #btrfs, use `btrfs inspect-internal map-swapfile -r /path/to/swapfile` instead of filefrag to get the resume_offset!!! -

Switchable neural components in turtles. Perhaps not surprising but certainly extraordinary! The source paper:
"Responses of the in vitro turtle brain to visual and auditory stimuli during severe hypoxia", Ariel et al. 2023 https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.244687
"North American pond turtles (Emydidae) are renowned for their ability to survive extreme hypoxia and anoxia, which enables several species to overwinter in ice-locked, anoxic freshwater ponds and bogs for months."
These qualities make turtles fantastic laboratory animals for neuroscience research:
"Large-scale mapping of cortical synaptic projections with extracellular electrode arrays", Shein-Idelson et al. 2017 https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4393

Thanks for reading/caring.
PLEASE boost this forward.
The more informed, the more queens survive and the more #bumblebees we have.
Simple.
Our native wild #bees are in trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can.
Thanks again for helping!
Have a great one. 8/8

Usually once she takes on some sugars and heats up she’ll happily fly off.
Don’t bring her indoors for long periods! If she has already established a nest and laid eggs she needs to get back to sit on them before they cool down. 7/8#bees #beesofmastodon #bumblebees

In this case preference is to move her to a nearby source of #nectar - a #flower! If no flowers are nearby she can be offered a 50/50 mix of white sugar and water.
NEVER offer her honey as although it would seem to be the obvious action honey can contain pathogens that may be harmful to #bumblebees 6/8#bees #beesofmastodon

As with sleeping dogs leave resting bees lie - for up to an hour before intervening. (Unless of course she is in imminent danger whereby she should be carefully moved to a safe place). If after about an hour she is still present then she may need assistance. 5/8

These between flight stopovers can last for up to an hour and #bees are not always careful about where they take them - sometimes the middle of a footpath can be the ‘ideal’ spot!
So if you see a big #bumblebee chilling on the ground don’t always presume she needs rescuing! 4/8#bumblebees #beesofmastodon

Hence you will observe queens flying low to the ground zig-zagging across the landscape - they’re house-hunting. Stopping to explore in long grass and vegetation, hollows in trees, stone walls, under sheds and even compost heaps. During this time bumblebee queens spend a lot of their time resting between flights. 3/8

Bumblebee queens emerge in early spring from hibernation and immediately need to feed - that’s why early flowering plants are so important. Apart from feeding, their mission at this time is to find a suitable site to establish a nest. 2/8
